Welcome to Gaia! ::

"What sarcasm?" I asked innocently doing the puppy eyes again, then I decided I'd better get serious, playing on the swings must have been getting to me. I slowed down the swinging almost to a stop, "Don't worry, i know you'll be here for Justin and the unborn little one, nothing can drag you away now, you can't let it" I said as Nadea approached. "How are you today girlie?" I asked as she leaned on the playset, "and I'd love for him to play with this, not to mention meet him" I said to her as I swung a little more. "Shadow told me about him, your son I mean... I'm happy you were able to get him back"

Shadow laughed at Vickilyn's responce. He found it entertaining that she could almost be child like at times, it must give her a very differant out look on life than he has. "I will try and not let anything drag me away but there will be times when I have little choice other than to go like the last times I left when Alexia was young. I needed to leave those times." He said and hushed himself as Nadea aproched. He noticed the blood smeared on her but said nothing. He just sat there quietly letting Vickilyn and Nadea catch up.

Shadow nodded. "Yes, I am a changed man. No more of those unpredicable moments of bestile furry. It is all thanks to Cassidy and Nadea." he said with a smile, he noticed Nadea's pain. He did wonder if she would Tell Vickilyn about it or if she would just keep it quiet. He had to keep his reactions nutral until she did soemthing.

I looked to Shadow with a little shocked, he didn;t seem very phased by what she had said, "baby?" I asked, "you're pregnant?" I couldn't believe what I had heard, 'Nadea? Pregnant? With who?' these thoughts raced through my mind and my first thought was Shadow, "you didn't? Did you?" I asked raising an eyebrow to him

Shadow hummed a tune trying to keep his mind away from the story Nadea had told. He didn't want to hear it again but Vickilyn had to know everything. Trying to keep himself calm now was alot easier than it had been previously and was glad for that. He could distract himself now with simple things as well as more complex things.

Nadea smiled, "Its quite alright Vicky...but i'll handle him myself when i am able to." she sighed heavily as she looked down at her growing belly, it was already bigger in the hour that she was there. At the rate the baby was growing she would give birth sometime in the morning or afternoon the next day, she wasn't looking forward to it. "Umm could we go inside...its feeling a bit hot out here...although it might be me." she offered a small joke to try to ease the situation.

"I am coming Vickilyn." Shadow said as he stood and headed for the mansion, not waiting to see if anyone was following him. He just wanted a drink, a strong drink. One that woudl preferably erase memories for a time but only Nadea's special brew done that to him, he would settle for a standard wiskey for now. He entered th edinning room and sat in his chair, calling for the drink as soon as he sat.

((edit))

I stopped as Shadow entered the house and listened to Nadea, "he's a hard guy to keep secrets from" I said as she clasped my hands. "What is it Nadea, you can tell me anything, and I promise Shadow, along with everyone else will not know unless you tell them" I said calmly trying to keep my composure, hiding the fact that I was furious about this whole incident, and how this could happen to such a sweet person like Nadea.
